Each week the former Apprentice Erika makes a prediction on The Tony Danza TV Show. ABC just aired it five minutes ago, so I thought it might be interesting to know before tonight's telecast of Apprentice 2.
This week, Ventrini selects Andy and Marie to be fired in Week #6.
Danza selects Raj and Stacy, calling her the Munchin.
Erika disagreed because she likes Raj because they're alumnis at Boston College.

Tony Danza to Host Talk Show - Aug 6, 7:15 AM EST - The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Who's the boss? Ask Ereka Vetrini and she'll say Tony Danza.
Vetrini, the eighth person fired during the first season of NBC's hit reality show "The Apprentice," has been hired as Danza's announcer and sidekick for his new talk show, which will premiere next month.
She'll discuss news and trends with Danza and cover red-carpet events including premieres and awards shows for "The Tony Danza Show," executive producer John Redmann announced Thursday.
"I couldn't be more thrilled about the opportunity to work with one of the most popular television personalities of all time," Vetrini, 28, said in a statement. "I'll be able to learn everything there is to know about television from a man whose career has stood the test of time."
Danza, 53, starred in the '70s comedy "Taxi" and the '80s sitcom "Who's the Boss?"
Vetrini, who graduated from Boston College, was dubbed "emotional" by Donald Trump before being eliminated from "The Apprentice." Most recently, she worked as a global promotional marketing manager for Clinique cosmetics.
"She may not have been hired by Donald Trump — but we've found the best person for the job," Redmann said. "The Tony Danza Show" will premiere live on Sept. 13.
Guess Tony and Erika don't get the inside scoop (like Ken seems to get!)
One things that struck me about BOTH teams is that neither team seemed to have someone from the team stay with the designer/seamstress overnight. The guys came in in the morning to find hardly anything done! I think this hurt the team. The women's designer did seem more on the ball than the men's.
Hmmm, I think Kevin's (from the show) comment that the task was lost in the first two hours when John selected the wrong designer was a very valid point!
This morning, Ventrini said she attended the Apprentice showing last night and met The Donald and her old Apprentice friends. Tony Danza had John the Fired Apprentice on the show about an hour ago. Here's what I remembered what John said on the Danza TV Show today about the pricing issue which The Donald gave at the boardroom:
Danza: We have Ventrini here today. Fired by Trump, Hired by Danzo. (audience all erupted and applaused)
John: Before I start I have two college shirts for you two from Cal Berkeley where I graduated. They were nice to have me present these to you.
Danza tells Ventrini : Okay Ventrini.... I got it for you. (instructing Erika not to come up on stage)
John: There were some editing. Hey for the guys, it came down to either staying for pricing or to visiting the models. (Everyone in audience laughed) Pricing was cut and dry, we got the price from the designer and we ran with it. Hey, I'm unemployed now, I was working for a magazine company before.
But on the NBC morning show with Katy Couric, John said that before the boardroom, Wes came up to him and said "he messed up the pricing and apologizes." John then decided to not bring up Wes' name in the boardroom for the pricing mistake. He said that out-take wasn't shown.
Ken NJ said this in post #5 : NBC morning show with Katy Couric, John said that before the boardroom, Wes came up to him and said "he messed up the pricing and apologizes." John then decided to not bring up Wes' name in the boardroom for the pricing mistake. He said that out-take wasn't shown.
Who cares whether that was shown or not...he still should have brought Wes in.
So he apologized and that made Andy the focus intead of him?
Big mistake on John's part!
He should never have chosen Andy to go to the boardroom!
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)
"You might be the toughest little whacker. . .but in my world, you're about as worrisome as a cloudy day." (Dutch Dooley)
I'm not passing any judgement whether John was right to bring Kevin in but not his friend Wes, and instead brought Andy because Kelly told him to do so. That means Kelly is a bit sneaky. Do we get to see this on tape of John's conversation with Kelly?
The consensus was that pricing was the critical flaw and that Kevin and Wes were responsible for it. But after talking with Kelly, John thought it might not be smart to bring in two strong people like Kevin and Wes - so he thought he might bring Andy in with Kevin, instead. John said that Andy didn't really do anything on the task anyway.
Ken NJ said this in post #7 : Mystic, I didn't see the show yet.

Hey Ken!
I wasnt directing that towards you.
I was yapping more at John for saying that the part he was talking about was edited...he is making excuses when, to me, it didnt matter. He was wrong..
As for the part with Kelly...you'll see the conversation between Kelly and John...
I think Kelly is a smart guy...From what I saw, and I could be wrong, I felt that he knew exactly what he was doing...but maybe Ill know more when I see his reaction next week when Kevin and Andy walk in the room and not John.
You'll see Kelly venting about how John was doing nothing in terms of leadership...and then he came out with this plan for him....
Someone correct me if Im wrong...didnt John talk to 2 guys, one bing Raj, and those 2 told him to bring in Kevin and Wes? And then Kelly changed his mind?
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

Oh okay, no problem Mystic. You can yell all you want to make your points. I'll give you an ear. Just saw the re-run and it looks like John actually seems to be an upstanding guy. He's the first Apprentice 2 PM who when confronted in the boardroom whom admitted to the error and took accountability. I was impressed with his style in first getting Carol and George to vouch for his hard effort but failed in his attempt until Trump jumps in and says The Donald can also vouch for him too. Then Trump goes on to say Andy didn't belong in his boardroom and for John's lack of involvment on the pricing should then be fired.

Kelly is street savvy. He reminds me equating to Ivana both not Project Manager this week, but stepped up each time to detect team mates whom became distractions rather than contributions to the short period of the tasks to be completed. Kelly jumped all over Raj for the constant "line sheet" questioning every member, taking away their attention and time. Ivana likewise jumped all over Elizabeth for questioning the fabrics as not being rich enough and she made the "I'm being a b!tch" comment, pretty much saying to Elizabeth to shut her yapper.
You'll see Kelly venting about how John was doing nothing in terms of leadership...and then he came out with this plan for him....
Seems like first John consulted Raj at the balcony, then Rich came in and then lastly Kelly wearing those funny looking sandles. Kelly and Chris both tossed in Andy's name independently. Kelly's plan is to eliminate Kevin and Andy without giving us the real reasons. I think Kelly fears the two were strong but not deserving to continue in the competition, plotting like Pamela.That's why I had sensed Kelly will make it to the final rounds. Both Kelly and Ivana seemed to be good facilitators.

You got it right Mystic. Unless Burnett edited it out of sequence the way we saw it.
Oh I think there will more " Boardroom footage" on Saturday.
I will guess that George got mad at someone on the Mosaic team. Really, really mad!
I saw a promo for it during the week, when I watched the episode--I didn't see George get "really, really upset" on Thursday night. Anyone else see the George gets mad promo??. He seemed he was his normal self to me.
I'd ALMOST bet money Kelly and Wes have " stealth alliance" and are ready to sabotage Kevin, Andy, Raj and Chris (not in that order) -just a thought.
I hear that Wes apologized John for messing up the pricing. and that is why John didn't take Wes into the Boardroom. John was HAD!
Was that Wes or Kevin that can be heard off-camera proclaiming " ..jack it up! jack it up!" in reference to the prices? Anyone know? It sounded like Wes to me, but what do I know....
I think Andy and Kevin will be closer for this boardroom experience. Kevin defended him well by pointing out the real failure in the project. That would be John. He was not cut out to manage for this task. He was justly fired.

We bummed out tonight. No Saturday special but NASCAR stuffs which I never watch.

Yeah, I wondered what happened. You think he yelled at John was it? It was mild.
I'd ALMOST bet money Kelly and Wes have " stealth alliance" and are ready to sabotage Kevin, Andy, Raj and Chris (not in that order) -just a thought.
That could be a give-away by Kelly with his stealth alliance with Wes. There seems to be at least three stealth alliances inside Mosaic.
1. Raj and Kevin (Raj defended Kevin)
2. Kevin and Andy (Harvard Heavies)
3. Kelly and Wes (Honky Hunks)
Chris came in by himself to John's conversation about week #6 nominations to the boardroom. And Raj was Kevin's right hand man when they were discussing week#3 about Apex railroading Big Stacie J.
I hear that Wes apologized John for messing up the pricing. and that is why John didn't take Wes into the Boardroom. John was HAD!
That's what John said at the Katie Couric show the Friday morning, but then he also said on the Tony Danza show that the designers gave him the prices and they relied on those which wasn't accurate because we heard someone in Mosaic insisted in jacking up the prices.
Was that Wes or Kevin that can be heard off-camera proclaiming " ..jack it up! jack it up!" in reference to the prices? Anyone know? It sounded like Wes to me, but what do I know....
I don't know for sure either. I'll try to watch the re-run and figure it out. But I don't think it was Kevin. If the past predicts the future, then I sensed it was Kelly because he was the price king from week #5. It was a critical mistake because there is a difference between jacking up QVC's retail price points vs. jacking up BUYERS wholesale price points. Buyers have more choice and opted to place three times more sales with Apex because they priced their wholesale designer clothing line much lower geared to the average pocketbook. Mosaic priced themselve out of the market, despite they have the best walkway designer's clothing from the audience applause.
I had previously explained about pricing decisions. It depends. < -- Just Click Here
2. If I represent the wholesalers, I want the manufacturer to discount it enough for me to make a profit over the competition.
They are like spaghettis: "They stick together in the pot."
Seems like the prior Apprentices get to mingle with the present Apprentice 2 casts at each week's NY preview showing Thursday night. As a result, before the weekly Apprentice TV shows, Erika Ventrini and Tony Danza go on their Thursday's morning TV show and give some tid-bits about the upcoming week #9 show.
I missed the last few Thursday Tony Danza shows... can someone watch it 10:00 AM EST this morning and post what they said and or their predictions if any? I'm attending some conference the whole day and won't be here.
